Alright, no more goofing. Now that the picture is done, I have some actual critique. I'll start with the background. It's serviceable, but I think a more standard cave aesthetic would have been of better use. That is if they are in a cave. Which is part of the issue. I'm just making an assumption on their location. I feel that the background is a little too abstract. Moving on to the characters, they're alright. Starting with the monster, it looks goofy, dumb and dangerous. That's my favorite combination of things. I love it. At the moment, I cannot think of anything that would make it better aside from a bit more detail. Next up is the Healer. Honestly my favorite of the bunch. Most likely due to how expressive you made them and previously mentioned jokes regarding dodgeball. From what I can see from their outfit, I like it quite a bit. That also might be because I have a soft spot for clothing details and things of the sort that are oversized. Such as the stitches on the gloves. Let's move on to the Knight. Again, what I would call serviceable. I don't really have much to say about them, mostly because they just don't stand out all that much. But, if I had to find something I liked about their design, I'd say I like the belt, it's cute. Personally though, if I had designed it, I would have looked for a way to make it seem like it was blushing instead of actually blushing. Then, we have the Witch. If I am to be completely honest with you, I get the feeling you didn't 100% know what you wanted to do with this character's design. And if that's the train of thought I'm going with, I'd say put them back in the oven. They need more time. Now about the lighting in this picture, I can offer you no proper criticism in this department. Sadly, I don't practice lighting as much as I should, so I would view it as out of place to criticize yours in any way. Lastly, I have to bring up that torch. It clashes horribly with everything else. To be more specific, the flame. You really should have stylized it. As it is, it stands out like a sore thumb. And that's about it. I feel comfortable with the score I've given this. But in case this came off as a little too negative, keep pushing forward. I wish to see you improve.
Until next time.
Oh, before I hit submit, I wanted to say this. The animation gifs that you've previously posted seem pretty alright. I know animator, so again, I can offer no proper critique. Just know that I think they look energetic and fun.
